Zain Omer - PeerSpot reviewer
Software Engineer (Kony-Temenos | Android) at Xpert Digital
A stable and scalable product that offers ease of coding and designing to build applications
There isn't a need for any improvement in Android SDK since they provide users with two or three updates in a year, making it quite stable. The security part in Android SDK depends on how you build an application using the tool so you can apply some security to your application. The reason why Temenos Quantum is the best security tool is because it uses a middleware named Fabric, so the APIs are connected from Fabric to Temenos Quantum. The middleware offered by Temenos is really strong. If I compare the security offered by Android to that of Temenos Quantum, Android will lose in terms of security. You can create a secure application with Android SDK. The amount of security offered by Android SDK is less when compared to Temenos, making it an area of concern where improvement can be made. I don't think Android SDK needs to add any features because they give updates frequently.

User-friendly for creating app interfaces
In my experience, one area where Temenos Quantum could improve is in the flexibility of widgets and additional libraries. While Temenos provides a set of widgets for development, they may not meet all requirements, and crafting custom widgets or libraries can be quite a challenge. Unlike some other platforms, Temenos Quantum doesn't readily offer extra libraries, meaning developers like me have to write our own code to create the specific widgets we need. This can be a time-consuming and complex process.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The IDE is easy to use and has a ton of APIs that allow you to tie into Google's large base of services offered."
"Being an Android developer this SDK platform will continue to grow as the developer community invests in it."
"Wide range of resources available (code, snippets, examples, samples, blogs...etc)."
"Android SDK's best feature is its ease of use."
"Applications built with Android SDK can run on a large number of devices from various vendors and are not restricted to a particular vendor"
"Although iPhone offers a lot of development tools, the freedom offered by Android is virtually unmatched."
"Best SDK"
"Android is an open mobile device platform, and many vendors are migrating to use it; hence it holds the future for the mobile market."
"The most valuable feature is usability. You can develop components inside it and reuse them in different parts of your application, wherever needed. You can replicate them. There's also a Quantum Fabric on the back end, which provides a middle layer between your database and the third-party systems you need to integrate. It also provides the integration to handle all sorts of exceptions and timeouts on the Fabric. This makes it easy to troubleshoot errors coming from third-party APIs."
"It is an important solution for reducing the development efforts by developing a mobile application efficiently, in a shorter period of time, across multiple platforms, such as Android and iOS."
"It is a single platform that can cater to mobile and web development requirements, making it convenient for businesses looking to transition into the digital space."
"It helps us focus on continually improving our technology and keeping up with the latest developments."
"We can use a single channel to create an interface for iOS, Android, and other channels."
"The best feature is the Kony Studio, which is the product that is used to develop interfaces."
"Comparing other solutions with Temenos Quantum, the later is less mature and presents several issues. Implementing Temenos Quantum has been challenging, resembling a nightmare compared to the smoother experience with the other."
"You can build your own customized, native, mobile applications in an efficient matter."
 

Cons

"I am still expecting Android SDK to incorporate flash or similar video tool capabilities."
"Having the applications coded in Java is also a con, because Java can be annoying to code in sometimes."
"Google has a monopoly on tools for Android app development, so Android SDK is the only choice available."
"Developing apps for tablets is comparatively difficult because the emulator is extremely slow."
"Much more work and knowledge involved."
"The amount of security offered by Android SDK is less when compared to Temenos, making it an area of concern where improvement can be made."
"It is an excellent solution, and it would be nice to get fewer updates."
"The development environment of Android SDK could improve."
"They need to improve their tech support's abilities. They do have a good tech support, but it still requires improvement."
"When developing our application, we also encountered certain issues related to delays and time-consuming builds."
"It would be highly beneficial if future iterations of Temenos could incorporate support for QR-based payment methods, as it would enhance the platform's capabilities and align it more closely with modern payment trends"
"Using the API manager can be complicated when you're dealing with multiple teams, projects, and APIs. Quantum doesn't have user-based access, so I can't restrict parts of the project to specific users."
"We would like to have widgets for graphs and analytics, as well as the integration of machine learning."
"The security and the interface technology could be better in Temenos Quantum. Additionally, a module that can display all the activities that have been done in the system would be helpful."
"Temenos Quantum needs to improve its usability. It lacks information on the network. We have to contact the support when we are stuck with something."
"In terms of technical support, I think that they are lacking."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Android SDK is essentially an open-source product on which anybody can work."
"It is an open-source platform."
"I am using the free version of Android SDK."
"Many countries, even those with fewer resources, prefer using Android SDK because it is cheap."
"Android SDK can be cheap and can go high in terms of prices, and it all depends on who the customers are and what kind of application you want. One application may cost 5,000 USD and can go up from 1,00,000 to 2,00,000 USD."
"Temenos Quantum is an expensive tool. Taking into consideration my company's use of Temenos Quantum for a bank, the costs attached to the solution ranged from 3,00,000 to 5,00,000 USD for building one application for the bank."
"This is an expensive solution, and it is the biggest challenge that we face when we present this platform to customers."
"The product is expensive. First, they must purchase the product, and then pay an annual renewal fee. The renewal fee depends on the product details and the license term’s length. Clients can buy licenses for five or ten years and pay for them upfront, or they can set up a yearly renewal cycle."
"It is expensive solution."
"​The price is too high. The annual cost for the Kony license is very high. Every year you have to renew it in order to maintain it​"
